Teeth whitening technology has come a long way since its inception. Not only have methods improved in effectiveness and results, but the low cost of treatments put celebrity white teeth in the reach of every person aspiring for the picture perfect smile. However, a majority of people believes that the bleach-based treatments typically used for teeth whitening are unnatural and can have significant side effects in the long run.
What most people do not realize is that teeth can be whitened using completely natural and readily available methods . A few are described below:
Option 1 – Abrasive Toothpastes
The first option is abrasive based toothpastes or teeth gel. These toothpastes contain fine abrasive material in the form of silica and various carbonates that help polish teeth as you are brushing them to clean off grime and dirt that is deposited everyday to make teeth dull.
Option 2 – Malic Acid
The next natural remedy is to find sources of malic acid, which is a natural astringent and cleaning agent. Malic acid is commonly found in strawberries and in smaller quantities in apples. You could use crush one ripe strawberry and half a spoon of baking soda to make a solution that you can apply on your teeth for about ten minutes and then rinse off and brush your teeth to remove the mixture. This method can be safely used once per week to achieve desired results. A higher frequency can actually lead to damaging the enamel layer on your teeth.
